Thanks for the reply. I guess gcc-4.0 is the one that doesn't work for me.
Where is this kernel-2.6.14? I guess it's not in the testing repository.
I currently run a home-built 2.6.8, but to compile it I had to revert to
gcc-3.3.
As far as the NVIDIA driver, it won't compile with gcc-4.0 either.
I'm starting to think it IS just me!
